Although superhero films may seem like mindless action, Thor: Ragnarok adapts its Norse mythology source material in interesting ways. Famous characters from Norse mythology like Hela, Valkyrie, Heimdall, Odin, Fenrir the giant wolf (not to mention Thor and Loki) all star in Marvel's version of the Norse Day of Doom

Some students will gravitate toward drawing Whitman on his black stallion, or an evening at Walden Pond...others will sketch the clanging clock at Prince P
